Like a molotov cocktail hurled at the new millennium's bland alt-rock scene, The Briefs exploded onto the punk landscape 25 years ago with their debut "Hit After Hit." Now, these bleach-blonde Seattle troublemakers continue to set stages ablaze from Vegas to Berlin. Fresh off a European tour and armed with forthcoming 7" "High Society b/w You Move Me," they're proving punk's not dead—it's just getting weirder, baby. To cap off a momentous 2024, the Briefs have reissued their sought-after first single "Poor and Weird b/w Rotten Love" while simultaneously gearing up for a US West Coast tour this fall. Five albums deep and countless bottles of peroxide later, these idiot savants continue to urge a new generation to grab a junk guitar, a pair of second-hand shades, and join the punk rock mutation!

Consisting of 4 old time pals who are no strangers to the Chicago music scene (Members of Mystery Actions, Bleach Party, Heart Shaped Hate, Absolutely Not, Youth Dekay), they decided to whip up some raucous tunes of their own and hit the ground running. VANG!'s music is a hodge podge of genres and influences spanning across this diverse lineup's previous musical ventures.

Punk Rock from the Southside of Chicago.With nasty riffs and an attitude problem.
